➋ { وَ مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُعْجِزَهٗ مِنْ شَيْءٍ …:} That is, in the heavens and the earth, meaning in the entire universe, nothing can render Allah the Exalted Almighty powerless so that He would not be able to seize it, or that after seizing it, it could escape from His grasp.
➌ {اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَلِيْمًا قَدِيْرًا :} Because He has always been All-Knowing and fully Capable over everything, meaning it is not possible that anything could render Him powerless, that He would not be able to seize it because He did not know where it was, or that He knew but did not have the power to seize it. The meaning of "always" is conveyed by the word {’’ كَانَ ‘‘}.

[51] If the Quraysh of Makkah have not previously looked at the ruins of the earlier nations with this perspective, then let them go and see now. Even from their ruins, it will become clear that these people, in their own times, surpassed the Quraysh of Makkah in glory, power, authority, and luxury. Then, when they adopted this rebellious attitude, Allah the Exalted crushed them completely. At that time, neither their glory nor their power and authority availed them anything against Allah the Exalted. So do you think that with your hostile attitude and secret conspiracies, you will be able to block the path of Allah the Exalted’s religion? How will you escape His grasp when He knows your every move and also has the power to punish you?
